At one time, racism was generally defined as hatred or bigotry towards people of other races Now hearing the awakened one say it, giving children of a different race and nationality a home adoptive loving is true racism, and just another example of colonizing and stripping people of their humanity
Given the gutter politics employed by the Left in Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation battle in 2018, we shouldn’t be surprised that President Donald Trump’s candidate to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the High Court be attacked with malicious smears and smears
Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who currently serves on the US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit, was appointed Sept 26 by Trump for his election to the Supreme Court It didn’t take long for progressive critics to attack his Catholic faith, of course
Sen Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., told Barrett that « dogma lives loudly in you » – as if it is problematic for a person to be a serious Catholic and to sit on the Supreme Court
But now Barrett’s children are under attack and she is labeled a « racist » She is the mother of seven children, two of whom are adopted and are from Haiti
Haiti has battled political unrest and poverty for much of its history Despite huge amounts of foreign aid, it is still the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere
Famine is rife in Haiti and many children suffer in deplorable conditions virtually unknown in the United States Child slavery remains a huge problem as desperate mothers sell their children to survive
Kendi is the director of the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University and the author of « How to Be an Antiracist »
He has been bred by the media, especially over the past year, as one of the foremost intellectuals of the « anti-racist » movement In August, schools in Fairfax County, Va., paid $ 20,000 to Kendi to speak for an hour via teleconference to principals and administrators
Some white colonizers have « adopted » black children. They have « civilized » these « savage » children in the « superior » way of white people, while using them as props in their lifelong denial images, while cutting off the biological parents of these children from the image of humanity https: // tco / XBE9rRnoqq
Perhaps it’s no surprise that Richard Spencer, a white nationalist, agrees with Kendi
« This is where racial identity takes you, » wrote conservative columnist Rod Dreher for The American Conservative, adding:
The fact that Richard Spencer, the white supremacist who advocates for a white state, agrees with Ibram Kendi, tells you something important about the malignant roots of Kendi’s « anti-racist » philosophy
These guys are two sides of the same coin – except one is an outcast, and the other runs an endowed center at Boston University and has become the most influential public intellectual in the world. american life today
As I wrote in a review of Kendi’s book, the anti-racism movement isn’t really about eradicating racism It’s about redefining it It’s about making every problem in American life boils down to racial identity It is about resolving « inequalities » through discrimination
Each question must be considered from the perspective of racism or the fight against racism, and there is no room for nuance or even debate
Kendi’s ideas, like those of white nationalists, clash with the principles of the Declaration of Independence that « all men are created equal. » His policy proposals would totally destroy freedom and self-government under of the Constitution, and would put the country under the yoke of absolute tyranny
Yet despite the malignancy of these views and their sweeping conclusions, they are being brought up by corporate titans and media giants, such as Twitter
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey donated $ 10 million to the Kendi Center at Boston University to « fuel needed and overdue policy changes »
What kind of « policy change » can we expect from a man who castigates Métis adoption and supports the creation of an irresponsible federal agency with the power to deny our representatives their rights? (what would his proposed anti-racist constitutional amendment do)?
$ 10 million to Dr Ibram Kendi and the BU Anti-Racism Research Center This research will inform and fuel needed and overdue policy changes. I appreciate you Dr Kendi, and I appreciate your work! https: // tco / M2zvIQYeEO
Still, it’s no surprise that Barrett faces the most vile and malicious attacks, given the size of the now vacant Supreme Court seat
While many assaults on Barrett’s faith and character are nothing more than personal saliva for political gain, it is important to understand the deep ideology behind the attacks by Kendi and others

Our most powerful media and cultural institutions have facilitated the emergence of a minority of radical left-wing intellectuals to create the moral framework for how Americans are judged in the public arena
This is, among other reasons, why the culture war has become so intense in 2020 and why it is unlikely to subside anytime soon
It’s not just about a Supreme Court seat It’s a conflict over how to define America’s very nature and the future of our society and institutions
